As international online access grows, technical communicators will encounter a range of challenges related to culture and communication in cyberspace. These challenges include how to design content and develop services for online distribution to a culturally diverse audience of users; how to address cultural and linguistic factors effectively when collaborating with international colleagues and clients via online media; and how to develop effective online teaching and training practices and materials for use in learning environments comprised of culturally diverse groups of students. The contributors to Culture, Communication and Cyberspace examine these challenges through chapters that explore the different aspects of international online communication. The contributing authors use a range of methodologies to review a variety of topics related to culture and communication in cyberspace. In so doing, the authors also examine how business trends, such as international outsourcing, content management, and the use of open source software (OS), are affecting and could change practices in the field of technical communication as related to online cross-cultural interactions.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49872641130769,"sku":"CIN0307396436G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50347443978513,"sku":"CIN0307396436A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53473589461265,"sku":"CIN0307396436VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0307396436.jpg?v=1750695602"},{"product_id":"to-the-temple-of-tranquility-and-step-on-it-book-ed-begley-jr-9780306832109","title":"To the Temple of Tranquility...and Step on It!","description":"\u003cb\u003eBeloved actor and environmental activist Ed Begley Jr. shares hilarious and poignant stories of his improbable life.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"Smart, funny, and honest.\" --Christopher Guest\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"Charming and disarming and personal.\" --Geena Davis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Ed Begley Jr. is truly one of a kind; a performer who is known equally for his prolific film and television career and his environmental activism.
